  • Summary

  • YolanDa Brown joins composer Colin Matthews, Principal Conductor of the LPO Edward Gardner and flautist Juliette Bausor to revisit Gustav Holst’s most famous work, The Planets.


    Faber recently published a new facsimile edition of Holst’s The Planets, edited by Colin Matthews, and today’s episode explores its significance and the unique insights that the original handwritten manuscript can give us.


    Colin, Ed and Juliette also talk to YolanDa about their favourite and least favourite movements, their thoughts on the speed you should play the big tune in ‘Jupiter’, and tips on how best to achieve the famous choral fade at the end of Neptune.


    Plus, what happened musically when Pluto lost its status as a planet…


    Produced by Tandem Productions for the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
